Learned this trick when I was at RISD from Mark in the ID Woodshop. I had participated in a work/study program while I attended and one of the many shop improvements Mark had me on was building tables and such. Relatively inexpensive way to start making structures.
To empower poverty-stricken communities, facilitate local leadership, and incite ownership and accountability for community driven solutions, in order to holistically attack the Cycle of Poverty ensuring lasting and generational growth and development
Finally completed; my first major welding project. The table is made of 1/4 inch steel plate it is 3 foot by 5 foot and stands 3 and a half feet high. The table weighs approx. 500lbs.
The table has a 5" steel vise attached to one corner and is on casters so that it can be moved out of the garage to be used outside as a fire prevention measure.
Due to the location on the pipe, this joint must be tig welded. While it's possible to do it in one pass, this one was done in two, a root pass and a cover pass.
Wendy has been cutting the arches for the dome as I weld them. Today
the weather was not so cooperative so I only got 4.5 arches done. We
need to make 32 arches to make up the armature of the dome.
Here's another film shot from past weeks. Universities hold a downhill race each year on Shrove Tuesday, and each year all the various organisations build their own sled. The sled being built here came in third, being judged mostly by style and effort.
Focus and exposure by guesstimating, framing by "Oh I can't look directly, it's around there". Cropped slightly after scanning.
Shot on a Rodenstock Ysette 6x4.5 from 1935 (essentially a Balda Baldax with Rodenstock Trinar lenses) on Kodak Portra 400 VC. Fantastic, even in color.
Not as dramatic of an effect from the welding as I would have liked, but the image isn't without it's redeeming qualities. Two things stand out for me.
1) the tote with the company name is framed and lit between the arc and weld mask
2) Lots of diaganal lines and they all lead to the welders face and then to the arc. Especially the weld rod itself. My eyes tend to go back and forth between the two items, which then brings focus on the comapny name again.
Wish I would have planned all this :)
My welding hood has little pockets for headphones inside.
Of course you can't hear the music over the noise of the welder.
All links have CNC machine inserts that are tig welded on both link ends with your choice of 1-1/4-12 and 3/4-16 threaded inserts. Links are heat treated after welding and never before, critical for welding strength and durability.
These badges are professionally crafted for the men and women of the Weld County Sheriff's Office.
Double ID Case #112 with a personalized flat badge #422.
Nice steel welding equipment, flux and rod cabinet. It even contained a brand new Aga X21 heavy duty torch + an array of tips + a Messer Star kit minus the torch itself.
Was about to take some pictures of a Retro Swimsuit Contest, looked into this car and saw this killer welded chain shifter with paint cans for a knob.
I haven't done many of these type of welds. They can be tricky to do well.
This section that I welded was fairly even.
There are over 1800 climbing routes in and around the Smith Rock park ranging from some of the best sport climbs in the world, to..."you've got to be kidding me!"
Smith Rock State Park encompasses 651 acres on the Oregon high desert plateau, which hovers around 3000 feet in elevation. The major rock faces are composed of welded tuff (compressed volcanic ash) reaching a height of up to 550 feet. These impressive pillars are surrounded by basalt rimrock with the Crooked River separating the two geologic features.
